I'll let Mike speak for the details of what he really wants to propose. But
here are the answers from E:

escapes with the quasi literal text are taken care of by the QuasiChar
production, much like the existing definition of DoubleStringCharacter:

    QuasiChar ::
        SourceCharacter but not one of $ or `
        $ $
        $ `
        $ \ EscapeSequence

So that `$$` === "$", `$`` === "`", and `$\n` === "\n", respectively.

Regarding `...$id.id...` and `...$id[expr]...`, only the first id in each
case in in the quasiHole. All the text afterwards is part of the QuasiClose.
